What this measures
UHC service coverage sub-index on infectious diseases is based on four tracer indicators: (i) Tuberculosis, (ii) HIV/AIDS (iii) Malaria (iv) Water, sanitation and hygiene. It is presented on a scale of 0 to 100 index points and is one of the four sub-indexes underlying the overall UHC service coverage index.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
